"." Ye Ge's brows twitched slightly, "You didn't hold a birthday party?"
Wang Hui: "No, Cici said that there are too many classes today, and it's boring to hold it every year. You've been very busy recently. If you're not here, it will be even less interesting, so we didn't hold it. Don't change the subject. What gift did you give? You've been the most active in giving gifts in previous years!"
Ye Ge: "I'm going to sleep first, good night, Makabaka."
Wang Hui: “???”
After turning off his phone, Ye Ge climbed out of bed, looked at his desk, and thought about it seriously.
If she hadn't given Yan CiCi a gift, if her mother found out, she would have been scolded again when she went back. Yan CiCi was like her mother's goddaughter.
Going out and buying gifts now is out of the question.
So Ye Ge thought, why not see if he has anything and give it to Yan Cici?
This basketball pendant?
Damn, so perfunctory.
How about this Doraemon piggy bank?
This seems to be something Su Mu gave me when school started.
Just give cash?
Fuck, this is even worse.
After thinking it over, Ye Ge realized that he really didn't have anything good except the 100G hard drive full of study materials.
"Oh, forget it."
Ye Ge sighed and sent a message to Yan Cici: "I was too busy today and didn't notice it was your birthday. I'll give you your birthday present tomorrow."
Just when Ye Ge was about to put down his phone, Yan Cici replied in an instant: "It's okay, no need, birthdays are celebrated every year, it doesn't matter this time, you should have a good rest."
Ye Ge: "It really can't be done. I really have to give you one. You've already given me a birthday present this year. I didn't give you my birthday present. This is not okay."
Yan CiCi's chat box always showed "typing".
Yan Cici typed for almost five minutes, and finally sent out these few words: "Or you can just say happy birthday to me, that's all."
"hiss"
Seeing the word Yan Cici, Ye Ge felt a little guilty.
On his birthday this year, Yan Cici specially bought a Tiga transformation device from an island country. It was an authentic one, but it was a bit expensive.
However, at that time, because the shipment had not arrived yet, Yan Cici was almost crying in anxiety, according to Wang Hui.
Finally, the goods were delivered to Linhai, but the courier had gone off work. Yan Cici contacted the courier, paid him extra money, and asked him to work overtime late at night to deliver the goods to Yan Cici's home.
Then at nine o'clock, Yan Cici came downstairs of her house escorted by her father and gave the gift to herself.
While giving herself a gift, she said with red eyes, "It's not that I forgot your gift, it's just that the logistics is really too slow, I'm sorry."
It was on that day that Ye Ge decided to confess his feelings to Yan Cici.
Now I have forgotten someone's birthday and can only say "Happy Birthday" to him/her. This is really not good.
Ye Ge did not reply to Yan Cici. Ye Ge was still thinking about what he could give her now.
Touching his chin and thinking for a while, Ye Ge suddenly stood up, put on his coat and changed his shoes.
"Fuck, Brother Ye, where are you going? It's almost eleven o'clock, and the uncle downstairs is about to lock the dormitory door." Li Jiangnan, who was still thinking about his smooth combo of the wine barrel, jumped up from the bed in shock.
"Give me a gift." Ye Ge opened Li Jiangnan's drawer and took out a military flashlight. "Please lend me this flashlight."
"Brother Ye! You're not going to give me the flashlight, are you? My flashlight is very expensive, no, it was given to me by my dad."
Li Jiangnan wanted to cry but he had no tears, but Ye Ge had already walked away.
As Ye Ge walked towards Yan Cici's dormitory, he sent a message to Yan Cici: "What time do you usually go to bed at night?"
On the other end of the phone, Yan Cici was stunned for a moment, first typed "11:30", and then quickly deleted it: "I'm already asleep, and the door of the girls' dormitory is closed."
"Then you should go to bed later."
(End of this chapter)
Chapter 230 The First Snow of Winter (2200 words)
In the dormitory.
Yan Cici looked at Ye Ge’s QQ chat box and blinked her eyes gently.
Yan Cici naturally remembers her birthday.
When Yan Cici woke up this morning, the first thing he did was to open QQ to see if Ye Ge had sent him a message.
However, the QQ message still remains from three days ago.
The content of the conversation between the two parties was that Yan Cici reported to the marketing department, and Yan Cici asked Ye Ge some things about the marketing department.
In the morning, Wang Hui came to find Yan Cici and gave her a birthday present. She also helped Chen Ji carry his birthday present.
Wang Hui asked Yan Cici if she had any plans for the evening and whether they wanted to go out for dinner together to celebrate her birthday.
Yan Cici just shook her head, saying that she had too many classes today, and Ye Ge was also very busy, so for the two of them, it was better to forget it.
Wang Hui wanted to say something, but looking at Cici's expression, she could only close her mouth in the end.
In fact, Yan Cici didn’t have any classes today, and she really wanted to hold a simple birthday party so that everyone could get together.
But when Yan Cici looked at Ye Ge’s gray avatar on her phone, she no longer felt any mood.
After Wang Hui left, Yan Cici went to the library to borrow some books about marketing operations after a class in the afternoon and took them back to the dormitory to read.
Yan Cici received blessings from her parents, Aunt Song, and many high school classmates.
But Yan Cici never received any blessing from anyone.
Yan Cici turned on the computer and logged into QQ, staring at his avatar in a daze.
Yan Cici couldn't help but think back to the past.
In the past, Ye Ge was always the first one to say happy birthday to himself, and then at 11:30 in the evening, he would say it to himself again.
Now, everything is different.
Yan Cici also knew that the responsibility for all this lay with herself.
If I had accepted Ye Ge's suggestion at that time.
"call"
Yan Cici took a deep breath and shook his head with a wry smile.
All situations are caused by myself, I can't blame anyone else.
If there really is an if, I hope to go back to that night.
If there really is an if, if Ye Ge didn't know how to write songs, didn't create Bilibili, if Ye Ge was just an "ordinary person" like before, then could I become a simple couple with Ye Ge again?
But Yan Cici knew that there were no ifs.
"Even if you are a friend, you should say happy birthday to me."
Yan Cici's eyes were misty. She stretched out her white and tender fingers, and with a wry smile, she lightly tapped the gray avatar on the computer screen.
But just when Yan Cici was about to close the notebook, the gray avatar seemed to be awakened.
"Drip drip"
A message was sent.
Yan Cici's heart beat faster and she clicked on the beating avatar.
Ye Ge: "I was too busy today and didn't notice it was your birthday. I'll give you the birthday present tomorrow."
It was just one sentence, and the tangled worries in Yan Cici's heart seemed to have found their ends, and were immediately pulled out and turned into a long thread: "It's okay, no need, birthdays are celebrated every year, this one doesn't matter, you should have a good rest."
Ye Ge: "It really can't be done. I really have to give you one. You've already given me a birthday present this year. I didn't give you my birthday present. This is not okay."
"A gift?"
Yan Cici lowered her head slightly, her thoughts becoming scattered.
"Ye Ge, after the Chinese New Year, we will take the college entrance examination."
The day before the Spring Festival, Yan Cici and Ye Ge went out to play. Yan Cici said to Ye Ge while holding a cup of hot milk tea.
Ye Ge nodded: "Indeed."
"Then let me ask you." Yan Cici stood in front of Ye Ge and smiled sweetly, "After the college entrance examination, do you know what else is important?"
Ye Ge was stunned for a moment, thought about it, and said with a smile: "Of course I know, it's your birthday."
Yan Cici's eyes curved: "Then what kind of gift are you going to give me?"
Ye Ge reached out his hand and gently pulled Yan Cici's coat closer to protect her from catching a cold. "I really don't know about this. I need to think about it carefully."
"I've thought of it." Yan Cici's misty smile was a little playful, "Give me a snowman, and we'll go to the north to go to college and see the snow together. It's the first snow of winter, and you give me my first snowman."
"Then give me a snowman."
Yan Cici came back to his senses from his thoughts and slowly typed this sentence.
But when Yan Cici was about to press send, Yan Cici deleted all the words: "Or you can just say happy birthday to me, that's all."
After Yan Cici sent the message, Ye Ge did not reply.
Yan Cici looked at the chat box, feeling a little nervous, not knowing where she had said wrong.
"What time do you usually go to bed at night?" Ye Ge replied five minutes later.
Looking at Ye Ge's reply, Yan Cici breathed a sigh of relief. She was glad that Ye Ge was not angry with her.
Just when Yan Cici was about to reply "half past eleven", Yan Cici suddenly froze, thinking about the meaning of this sentence.
Could it be that Ye Ge wants to give himself a gift now?
Yan Cici checked the time, then walked out onto the balcony and looked at the heavy snow falling in the night sky. The cold wind was biting. Yan Cici didn't know if Ye Ge was going to give her something, but she quickly replied, "I'm already asleep, and the door to the girls' dormitory is closed."
"Then you should go to bed later." Ye Ge replied seven minutes later.
Yan Cici knew that Ye Ge might really have gone to buy a gift for herself.
